Projects
Showman: The Fran O'Toole Story
We are producing a documentary about the lead singer and songwriter of The Miami Showband who was on the verge of launching a solo career when he and two of his bandmates were murdered by loyalist paramilitaries in 1975.
Fran’s first band, The Chosen Few, was one of a small number of bands in Dublin beat clubs creating the sounds that would define Irish music of the 60s and 70s.
A unique Irish music documentary, Showman tells of the formative years and life story of a dedicated and unique artist killed in his prime because he was one of the best.
Working with the Afghan Dreamers
As featured on NPR’s ‘The World’, August 2026. https://theworld.org/
We are happy to continue to support the Afghan Dreamers, the original members of the Afghan Girls Robotics Team, as they begin their undergraduate degrees at University College Dublin this fall.
We have been assisting these young women since 2021.
Goldenbridge Community Projects
This summer in Inchicore we hosted free community workshops in Irish Stick Fighting and Rebel Song, Summer Project trips for women and children, and we’ve just been awarded a grant from Elliott Group for our Camac Women’s Performance Project that will serve marginalized groups in Inchicore.
Jacob Riis Houses: The Land & Its People
In May, we hosted a screening of our most recent documentary; a feature of the historical Jacob Riis Housing Development in the Lower East Side of Manhattan.
The event was a victory in gathering a community in the interest of shared history.
Community Folklore Project : Riis, Wald and Baruch Houses
We are excited to be gathering stories from Lower East Side NYCHA residents for a podcast series that highlights local voices and celebrates our community history. This project parallels the Inchicore Stories project that we carried out in 2022.
